Chapter 123: A new drama starts filming
When Xu Hang pushed through the door, he saw Hou Fuxiu holding his mobile phone, and the voice coming out of his hand didn't need to guess to know who was inside.
He smiled: "You two have been on vacation together for three months, haven't you had enough?" There aren't many people on the island who are your light bulbs. β
Hou Fuxiu closed his mobile phone and asked, "Something?" β
Xu Hang put away his joking expression and nodded: "The news from the United States has come, and they want to increase investment in China." You need to make a trip to the specific situation. β
Hou Fuxiu thought for a while: "I'm just the vice president of the company, and I should let Mr. Qian go to this matter." β
"I just came out of Mr. Qian, he means that he wants you to go in person, after all, you have just joined HR5, and you are not familiar with the personnel situation within the company, this is a good opportunity."
Hou Fuxiu raised his eyebrows: "He has a big heart." β
Xu Hang said with a smile: "Where is he big-hearted, he clearly knows your identity and knows that he can't compete with you at all, since that's the case, he just sells you face, and when you take power, he will have a way out, right?" β
Hearing Xu Hang's words, the sarcasm in Hou Fuxiu's eyes became more and more obvious.
"Actually, from the perspective of these people, it's not surprising that this is done. After all, HR5 belongs to the Hou family, and you are the Hou family. β
Hou Fuxiu licked his lips, raised his head to look at Xu Hang, and asked, "Isn't the matter of shares still not good?" β
Xu Hang sighed and shook his head: "There are not many shareholders who are willing to agree to introduce investment to dilute their shares, although we took the opportunity of HR5 to enter China to tear up a hole, but it did not affect the parent company." Now Hou Qian's 12% stake is the absolute majority, and you and your father together are only 9, 8% is less than 10."
Hou Fuxiu frowned: "I remember when I was a child, I followed my father to the shareholders' meeting, and at that time, there was a proportion of each shareholder on the wall, and Hou Qian was only 3% at that time. She can increase her holdings so much now, obviously because she got the shares in her grandfather's hands. β
Xu Hang nodded: "Yes, it's a pity that the Wen JiΓ n she inherited the shares from the old man is all legal, and the lawyer also proved that it was appointed by the old man before he had Parkinson's disease." If we can find WenjiΓ n's mistake, the old man's 9% stake will be able to remain neutral. β
Hou Fuxiu got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the gradually darkening sky, and muttered, "There must be a way." As long as we can remove her from the chairman's position and get HR5 out of her control, our investigation will be much easier after that. β
In the evening he returned home to find that the meal had been set on the table.
Hou Fuxiu smiled, didn't ask much, and just picked it up and ate it.
Gu Yu carefully observed him, saw that he was eating happily, thought about it and asked, "Is it delicious?" β
Hou Fuxiu nodded: "It's okay, the next time you fry the vegetables, you should fry them quickly in a hot pan, so that the vegetables are crisp and refreshing." β
"Oh, I remember."
After waiting for a while and seeing that he had almost eaten, Gu Wu waited for Ai Ai to speak: "Time flies so fast, I've been back for almost a month." β
Hou Fuxiu: "Hmm! β
"Well, I went to the hospital for a follow-up today, and the doctor said that I am recovering well, and now I can run and jump. Oh, I'm going to get back to my previous level, and it's normal to sleep until dawn. β
Hou Fuxiu took a sip of winter melon pork rib soup and looked at her: "Say what you want to say." β
Gu Wu hesitated for a while, plucked up the courage to speak cautiously: "I read two scripts, and I think it's very good." I've been off for almost half a year, and I'm so bored. β
Seeing that Hou Fuxiu's expression was normal, Gu Wu's heart fell back into her stomach, and she said with some excitement: "Both are easy scripts." Can you take a look at it later? β
Hou Fuxiu finished drinking the soup and put down the bowl and sighed: "Gu Wu, you really don't need to be so careful in front of me. β
Gu Wu tilted her head sideways to reveal her white neck: "Aren't I afraid that you will be unhappy?" β
"Show me the script in a moment."
"Hey!" Gu Wu smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth, and didn't let Hou Fuxiu wash the dishes, and took out the script and put it on the table, and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks while humming.
Looking at her dog-legged appearance, Hou Fuxiu scolded with a smile: "That's it!" β
Then sat on the sofa and turned on the TV, listening to the news while flipping through the script handed to him by Gu Wu.
As Gu Wu said, these two books are quite festive, and it is estimated that the type of acting in "Looking for People" is afraid and wants to change the style.
One of them is estimated to be prepared for the Chinese New Year, and many of the ones in it are a hodgepodge of stars at first glance.
The other is a low-cost romance movie, which is probably prepared for Valentine's Day.
After reading it, Hou Fuxiu looked at Gu Wu and pointed to the script on the table and asked, "Do you think it's all good?" β
Seeing his expression, Gu Wu instantly withered.
"But these are good scripts. You also know that there are so many good scripts every year, and it is good luck to meet one. The others are either action scenes, not to mention how the scenes are suitable for me or not, I'm afraid I'm afraid that those martial arts actions alone are enough. β
Although Gu Wu was not in danger of life this time, after all, she had undergone major surgery, and her whole person was still much weaker than before, even if Gu Wu dared to take Hou Fu Xiu, she would not agree.
Sure enough, he refused without thinking about it, and then he asked, "Do you want to take on the TV series?" β
"TV series?"
Gu Wu did play a supporting role in several TV series before filming the famous work "Lost Heart Mirror", but that was several years ago, and she didn't think much about TV series after she became famous in the film industry.
Hou Fuxiu nodded: "Yes, I know that at the beginning of the year, another big drama was being prepared, and that drama Xingcan also participated in the investment." But director Feng Ranxin's status is there, and he must decide the main actor himself. Now the preliminary preparations are almost complete, but the main role has not yet been decided. Do you want to try it? β
Gu Wu was shocked when she heard the news, yes, how could she forget such a phenomenal TV series as "Such a Biography".
"Such a Biography" is adapted from a web novel, which is about a woman in the Spring and Autumn Period, who gave birth to a son after entering the palace and took power, and taught the legendary life story of two generations of emperors.
This is a typical big heroine drama, it has to be broadcast to set a three-year peak in ratings, and it is also talked about because of the super high replay rate during the annual inventory.
The actress who played "Such a Biography" was only a third-tier actress before, and she was on top at zero time because the actress she was looking for resigned. But it was this opportunity that made her soar into the sky, and she collapsed into the super line in one fell swoop, and she was active in the TV series screen until Gu Wu's death.
Hearing Hou Fuxiu mention that this is not a TV series, Gu Wu was of course very interested.
But thinking of Feng Ranxin, the director, he was a little uncertain, after all, with the status of that director, he was unlikely to accept the pressure of the producer and compromise.
"I'm quite interested, anyway, I don't have a good book now. Acting in TV dramas can greatly improve the country's fame and make many audiences know me. But after all, I don't have much experience and achievements in TV dramas, and Feng Ranxin is notoriously difficult to speak, will he agree? β
Of course, Hou Fuxiu also thought of what Gu Wu thought of.
Indeed, if Feng Ranxin chooses by himself, the actress who is willing to play his play can be filmed outside the fifth ring road, although Gu Wu has a great reputation in the film industry, but she is a newcomer for TV series, and it is basically impossible for a newcomer to parachute into Feng Ranxin's drama to play the absolute female number one.
But Hou Fuxiu was sure to convince him, because Hou Fuxiu knew that Feng Ranxin had been pulling investment to shoot a movie, a documentary film. Unless a state project is set up to invest money in this kind of movie, private investors will not ask much at all.
If you smash the pond with money, you can hear two sounds, and if you invest money to make a documentary, you can't even hear the sound.
This news is only spreading in a small area, after all, Feng Ranxin is also a person with status, and he can't do it if he pulls down his face and begs his grandfather to sue his grandmother.
But Hou Fuxiu knows that the main reason why he is willing to shoot "Such a Biography" is that he wants to take the salary to shoot his next documentary, yes, our Director Feng is willing to pay his own money to complete his thoughts even if no one invests, this attitude really has an artistic temperament where money is like dung.
It was precisely because he knew Feng Ranxin's weakness that Hou Fuxiu was sure that he would accept Gu Wu.
"Since you are willing, you have to leave the rest alone, let Zhang Xiao contact me tomorrow, and I will take care of the rest."
Gu Wu blinked her eyes and asked, "He probably doesn't lack money." β
As long as a director like Feng Ranxin wants to film, investors will line up to send money, after all, who doesn't want to do a business that is sure to make a profit?
Hou Fuxiu shook his head: "He is short of money, but it is lacking somewhere else." Okay, don't ask so much, take a good rest and prepare for the TV series. β
In the entertainment industry, Hou Fuxiu is worthy of being a golden backer, although the other party was polite when Zhang Xiao went on the first day, his attitude was still obvious, Gu Wu is well-known in the film industry, box office and reputation. But TV is still different from movies, as a newcomer to TV, it is a bit big to be the female lead of such a big heroine as soon as she comes up.
Between Gu Yu's good reputation, they are willing to give Gu Wu the role of the second female lead in the play, second only to Ru Yes, and ensure that the actress who serves as Ru Yes is definitely a first-line celebrity in the circle.
Zhang Xiao came back and told Gu Wu the news and expressed that he was not optimistic, Gu Wu is now mixing well in the film industry, why bother to play the second female lead in a TV series? It's simply self-defeating. If she wants to make a TV series to increase her popularity, there are a lot of scripts for her to choose from.
After listening to Zhang Xiao's words, Gu Wu just nodded, took the script and didn't say much, she had no reason to believe Hou Fuxiu in her own drama selection, as long as he said he could do it.
Sure enough, Feng Ranxin, who had not shown up three days later, took the initiative to call Zhang Xiao and Gu Wu and said that the two of them should go to the office for an interview.
Zhang Xiao looked at Gu Wu with a surprised look and asked, "What does he mean by this?" β
Gu Wu smiled clearly, Zhang Xiao immediately understood that there must be a wrist of the general manager in the back, not only did she feel that this is really more popular than the dead, it is not terrible to have talent, talent and hard work are not terrible, the most terrible thing is that there is talent and hard work, and the owner of the money is behind it. How to mix?
When the two walked out of the building with the contract, Zhang Xiao had no strength to get angry, he wiped his face and said, "Filming will start next month, and the time is five months." You take advantage of this time to read the script and prepare, and when you join the group, you probably won't have much time to rest. After speaking, he thought for a while and added: "But when the drama is released, your popularity is estimated to follow, and you can receive some FMCG advertisements at that time." Although acting in movies is famous, the money is still not as good as those popular TV drama actors. β
For special reasons, Gu Wu got the complete script, only the first twenty episodes and an outline.
Just now in the office, Feng Ranxin looked at himself with a flat expression, but Gu Yu could feel that he was not very satisfied with him. But for the sake of his documentary, he had to compromise with Hou Fuxiu.
In fact, Gu Wu looked at Director Feng's dissatisfaction in her eyes, and the unconvincing in her heart was also aroused, she hadn't seen this kind of look for a long, long time.
She knows that if she wants to gain the respect and attention of others, she can only rely on her own efforts and achievements, and only by showing real evidence can she dispel the contempt of others.
At the same time, in Director Feng's office, the assistant director and photographer who had followed him for more than ten years looked at him sadly and said: "Director Feng, if the heroine is really Gu Wu, then the supporting role is not easy to choose." Those actresses who originally intended to take on were probably unwilling to play a supporting role for Gu Wu. That girl has a good score in movies, but she has never been the heroine of a TV series and has no ratings, which is equivalent to being a complete newcomer to TV series. And it's so young............"
"I thought of these things when I decided on her, you prepare to give me the phone numbers of those people, and I will call them one by one."
This gesture is directly to consume Feng Ranxin's more than 20 years of qualifications, and it is to let the other party give Feng Dao face. Although this kind of thing is often seen in the entertainment industry, the face is not unlimited, and if you ask for more, it will not be easy for others to use it anymore.
The assistant director sighed and nodded helplessly.
Director Feng remembered the scene when Hou Fuxiu took the initiative to find him two days ago, although he was dissatisfied, he was not so naΓ―ve. I know that if I want to get, I have to give.
However, what he didn't expect was that Gu Wu had such a close relationship with Hou Fuxiu, and in the end, Hou Fuxiu didn't hide it from him, and directly said the current relationship between the two.
This situation is too common in the circle, and some bosses have two dollars and want to support a few female stars. He saw it when he started in the industry. But what I didn't expect was that I would meet again in this position.
But after thinking about it, I felt that Hou Fuxiu was worthy of being a famous person in the circle with a unique vision, even if he went to the back door to praise his own woman, he also brought out a Gu Wu who had the potential to be popular.
Thinking of this little girl, in fact, he has watched Gu Wu's two movies, one is the well-received "Lost Heart Mirror" and the other is "Black Swan" recommended by his daughter. After reading it, even if he was prejudiced, Director Feng knew that Gu Wu's success was definitely not just relying on Hou Fuxiu.
Even if Hou Fuxiu doesn't help her, it is a matter of time before she becomes famous with her ability, but it is just a little broken during the period.
And he also heard that Gu Wu had just finished filming a movie, and after the rough cut, he let it go in a small area in the circle, and the reputation was very good, so good that he wanted to go and see it.
After thinking about it, he felt that the main reason for his dissatisfaction was not Gu Wu, but the kind of unwillingness that he was "untacted" by. (To be continued.) )
